Redshirts by John Scalzi is Tom's pick this time around. Although we both agree that Scalzi has written better, this is a fun book, more than a parody, that tickles Tom's sense of nostalgia. What happens when the red shirts became self-aware of their role? Can they find a way to fight back? Scalzi explores this with a depth and meta-awareness that really transcends simple satire. Every die-hard Trekkie should read this book! TTYpodcast.comThumbingThroughYesterday.com

Star Trek has inspired generations of fans with its optimistic vision of the future, but where does the franchise stand today? In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we tackle one of the biggest questions in modern sci-fi:Is Star Trek broken?From classic series like The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager to newer entries like Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, and more, we explore what's working, what isn't, and whether the franchise has lost its way.More importantly, we each pitch our own ideas for how to fix Star Trek. Should the franchise return to its roots? Take more risks? Slow down? Focus on new crews and new stories? We debate it all.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 is almost here, and you know what that means—it's prediction time! We'll break down what we think is most likely to happen in the new season, which fan theories have a chance of coming true, and what probably won't make the cut. Also, there's a major new twist in the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger saga that could have big implications for the future of Star Trek. And if you're a Trekkie who loves gaming, you're in for a treat. We'll show you how you'll soon be experiencing a little magic in the Alpha Quadrant.

Send us Fan MailYou asked for some horror coverage, and that's exactly what you're getting! Today we're here with CJ Leede, THE Queen of horror, to get to know her, introduce her brand new book Headlights and discuss why horror with feminist themes is so important and is resonating on a different level with readers right now. Don't worry, this episode is entirely spoiler free, so if you're horror curious but not sure if it's for you, stick around to find out why we think the thriller and fantasy girlies might just be on track to embrace a new, spookier genre.Headlights is now available everywhere you find your favorite books including Audible (starring audiobook narrator Andrew Eiden who many of you may know as Teddy Hamilton…!). The scream we scrempt when CJ told us that fact should've been recorded - oh wait! It was. What can we say? It was the best possible audiobook surprise. We talk briefly about her previous comedic slasher release Maeve Fly, the USA Today bestseller, winner of the Golden Poppy Octavia E. Butler Award, the Splatterpunk Award for Best Novel, and a Bram Stoker Award nominee, and her second apocalyptic feminist horror novel American Rapture named one of the best horror books of 2024 by Esquire Magazine, a Goodreads and Publisher's Weekly Editor's pick and A Splatterpunk Award finalist. What should you expect when you pick up one of CJ's books? Why are they all wildly different? And how scary is Headlights, really? In addition to being a horror writer, CJ is a hiker and Trekkie, and when she's not driving around the country, she can be found in LA with her boyfriend and rescue dogs. Make sure to go follow her @ceejthemoment for all the latest updates on her book tour! We're bringing you all of this, plus CJ's “Fave & Fail” Headlights edition, and a rapid fire smash or pass with all of our favorite horror movie men. Check out CJ Leede here https://us.macmillan.com/author/cjleedeAnd on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ceejthemoment?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Don't be shy, subscribe!

The League goes Trekking Through Trek again as they tackle Star Trek: First Contact. The crew of the Enterprise D travel back in time to battle the Borg for the fate of humanity. They also have to convince a drunken buffoon to fly a spaceship so aliens will spot him, and Captain Picard has to stave off obsession. All that, plus Data gets some!This week Matt, Clay, and John dive deep into the 1996 blockbuster Star Trek: First Contact — widely considered the best Next Generation film and one of the greatest Star Trek movies ever made. Directed by Jonathan "Two Takes" Frakes (who plays Commander Riker), this 30th anniversary classic pits the Enterprise-E crew against the relentless Borg Collective in a race through time back to April 4, 2063 — First Contact Day itself.We break down Picard's Ahab-level obsession with the Borg, the introduction of the terrifying yet oddly seductive Borg Queen, Data's very special encounter with her, and whether Zefram Cochran is the most reluctant hero in sci-fi history. We also get into the Rotten Tomatoes rankings across all Star Trek films, Jonathan Frakes' legendary "Two Takes" directing style, the practical model work by ILM on the Enterprise-E, and why the line "You're astronauts on some kind of Star Trek" might be the best/worst line in franchise history.Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie or just Trekking Through Trek for the first time, this is the episode for you.STAY CONNECTED!LISTEN & WATCH Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1crlHvsmYIRn4zjSdq44qn?si=5ee27c125ad54b70 The League on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leagueofordinarygentlemenOFFICIAL SITES https://www.leaguepodcast.com http://vampcouncil.comTHE LEAGUE ON SOCIAL Facebook: https://facebook.com/leaguepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leaguepodcast Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/leaguepodcast.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@leaguepodcastCLAY & DURSIN Dursin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dursin Dursin's Substack: https://dursin.substack.com Clay on IG: https://www.instagram.com/claynferno Clay's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@claynferno Clay's Substack: https://claynferno.substack.com
